Answer 1

Responses 1 and 4 are the most accurate statements. Independence did lead to political instability and economic instability in Latin America and Haiti. Many of these newly independent countries struggled with determining their political structures and creating stable governments. Additionally, their economies were often dependent on former colonial powers, and the loss of this economic support led to economic instability. However, there were also some positive social changes that came with independence, such as the abolishment of slavery in Haiti and the push for social equality in many Latin American countries. These positive social changes did not, however, outweigh the overall consequences of political and economic instability.
